In this paper, we introduce the Flux Coupling Finder (FCF) framework for elucidating the topological and flux connectivity features of genome-scale metabolic networks. The framework is demonstrated on genome-scale metabolic reconstructions of Helicobacter pylori, Escherichia coli, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The analysis allows one to determine whether any two metabolic fluxes, v(1) and v(2),...

In this paper, a multi-layer and multi-dish model was proposed for a multi-dish concentrator system. Based on the model, the flux distribution of focal plane was calculated by Monte Carlo ray tracing method (MCRTM). The results show that the multi-dish concentrator system is composed of three different focal length parabolic surfaces. The design parameters calculated from the model have a good ...

Purpose: Given the high prevalence of varus malalignment of the knee and the consequences of walking on different surfaces on this malalignment, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of walking inclination on knee angle in the frontal plane of patients with varus malalignment. Methods: 18 male subjects with varus malalignment classified at grade 3 bowleg, within the a...

Cutting force has a significant influence on the dimensional accuracy due to cutting toolholder deflection. The problem of tool holder deflection is faced frequently in a variety of engineering surface products, and to achieve this goal passive technique can be used. The need for passive technique arises from the complexities that brought to the structures by active control techniques and energ...

A new technique was developed for measuring net water flux across the eel intestine in vitro. The new perfusion method was suitable for long duration experiments because of continuous oxygen supply to both the external and the perfusion medium. Net water flux was calculated directly from the difference between the rates of effluent and perfusate flow without measuring the concentration of marke...

A method to estimate the sensible heat flux (H) for unstable atmospheric condition requiring measurements taken in half-hourly basis as input and involving land surface temperature (LST), HLST, was tested over a tall dense aspen stand. The avoids need zero-plane displacement roughness length momentum. net radiation (Rn) latent (λE) dominated energy balance (SEB). Therefore, λE estimated applyin...

We propose a new empirical method to estimate the total far-infrared flux of galaxies from the spectral energy distribution (SED) at wavelengths λ≤ 100μm. It is difficult to derive the total far-infrared luminosity from only the IRAS data, though it is one of the most important properties of galaxies. Observations by Infrared Telescope in Space (IRTS) indicate that the SED of the diffuse emissi...
